About meGerman-spanish bilingual librarian, living in Madrid, Spain, yes that's in Europe, where health systems are socialized. English is my adopted language. Turned 35 this August, my, how time flies when you're looking elsewhere. Besides reading, I love tv-shows; I'm long-time trekkie, and I watch everything from Babylon5 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to Sex and the City and The Wire. I have a LiveJournal and hang out frequently on Facebooks. I equally enjoy opera and cheesy pop hits. As for my personal life, I'm in a steady relationship with an engineer (help!), we recently moved into an incredibly chic apartment in the incredibly chic neighborhood of Tribunal.

About my libraryWhen I moved out, I only took about half of my library with me into the apartment I shared with a strange 50-year old gloomy german teacher; then I moved into my own tiny apartment and got myself a boyfriend who helped me build shelves (not in that order), so I brought all the books I considered vital and gave the rest away; recently I've moved in with said boyfriend and had to give a few more books away to make space - but I've also bought new ones, so the number is about the same, I guess.

I don't order books by language or country, only by category and alphabetically. I like a bit of chaos in my order.

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves
of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is a
symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds,
the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring.
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring
after the winter. The lasting pleasures of contact with the natural
world...are available to anyone who will place himself under the
influence of earth, sea and sky and their amazing life.

- Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
Dear Anna Maria,

Thank you for adding me to your "interesting libraries" list. I feel most flattered! My apologies for my delayed response, but I have been travelling in South-East Asia for a month. Pure bliss! Happy reading!

Its going to take me months to catalog everything, but I think it will be worth it!
